If you haven't already had Castle Rat's excellent new album The Bestiary blaring through your headphones in recent months, you might just be about to. New York's finest young purveyors of fantasy doom metal just wrapped up a hefty few weeks of touring, including dates in the US, Europe and the UK.
The latter run included a packed-out and richly received set at Manchester's Damnation Festival this past weekend, where the sword-waving heavy metallers shared a stage with the likes of Napalm Death, Corrosion of Conformity, Amenra, Deafheaven and more.
